So what does music mean?
Now, It’s a funny thing about this meaning business, in music, anyway. When you say “What does it mean?”, what you’re really saying is “What is it trying to tell me?”, or “What ideas does it make me have?” Just like words; when you hear words, you get ideas from them. If I say to you “Ow, I burned my finger!”, then immediately you get an idea from what I said or some ideas. You get the idea that I burned my finger, that it hurts, that I might not be able to play the piano any more, or that I have a loud ugly voice when I scream, lots of different ideas like that.
Now what do you think that music is all about? Can you tell me?
This is an example of something I call a music fractal.
A demonstration of the polyhedric nature of melody.
Melody is like the same thing as rhythm, man!
It’s the musical equivalent of a fractal.
So you see, this music is exciting because it was written to be exciting, for musical reasons, and for no other reasons.
…multi-tonic system…
Now I’m going to try a trick with you. Is that what it’s about? Okay, here goes.
Music is never about anything. Music just is.
Musical Fractal.
